Natural Bark Mulch

Natural bark mulch is an organic ground cover made from the shredded or chipped outer bark of trees, typically hardwoods or softwoods. This mulch is prized for its natural appearance and ability to enrich soil as it decomposes, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.

The bark attribute ensures a fibrous texture that helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Because it is natural and free from dyes or additives, this mulch is safe for use around plants, pets, and children. Common applications include garden beds, tree rings, pathways, and playgrounds. While natural bark mulch offers excellent aesthetic appeal and soil health benefits, it may require periodic replenishment as it breaks down over time.
